Walker

Oh.

Hi. Morning.

Hey.

You, uh,

breaking and entering?

Hey, have you seen

Dad's old picnic basket?

I've got this date tonight. His what?

Are you going to court today?

No.

What's with all the starch?

Uh...

Are you wearing aftershave?

Look, okay.

Ugh. If you must know, I'm, uh,

taking Twyla around today.

Gonna go help her find a new apartment. It's not a big deal.

Twyla? Yeah.

You sure that's smart?

Easy. We're just running errands.

Does Geri know?

Look, I know it's a rebound, but...

Okay, Geri made it clear she's not interested in

us. And-and Twyla...

Twyla's not a rebound.

She's a friend. You know, it-it's-it's casual. Uh...

Cordi, you don't do casual. Okay?

You're a serial monogamist.

Okay, so, wait, are there rules?

Mm. What? Was-was I supposed to go straight from

widower to player?

Also, you have coffee

with a guy and get engaged, so...

Uh, no.

Bret and I got engaged

after six months of dating, okay?

So... And it wasn't coffee.

Okay, okay, okay. I just...

Look, there's something simple about it, w-with Twyla.

I don't have to think about me losing the ranch,

or me and Geri, or-or us all fighting

with the Davidsons, any of it.

All I can say is that when

I'm with her, I-I feel like

I can take a breath. Cordi,

if you need to talk to me,

you know that I'm always here, right?

I do know that. I do. Uh...

Thank you.

Meanwhile, big brother to the rescue.

Voilà.

Daddy's picnic basket.

Hey. Have fun.

Thanks.

Wearing Mom's necklace again?

Yeah, um... Colton found it.

You got to tell Todd.

What?

Come on, you said Colton's name, and you did that thing

you do with your-your face, your cheeks or whatever.

Smile?

You don't smile like that at Todd.

I smile how I smile. This is just

the way my face moves.

It's not fair, to either of you.

I know.

It's just... it's not that easy.

Just rip it off, like a Band-Aid.

Good luck.

Hey, um, can we talk at lunch?

Sure. Great news.Sauber.

I got in.

Oh, okay.

Oh, wow.

All the cram sessions, late nights,

it all paid off. Thanks to you.

I was getting worried about the whole

long-distance thing, but now we're all good.

Sorry, I-I interrupted you. What'd you want to say?

Um...

Don't worry about it. Let's celebrate.

Come on.Okay.

Nice. Real nice.

So, it sounds like things are going

well with you and your brother.

Yeah, well, we're getting there.

Yeah? We, uh, we visited Lucas's grave last week.

It was healing.

That's-that's great. That's great, but I...

I hope you guys are doing some lighter things together, too.

Yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean,

we're actually going to a Neville Meriwether

book signing next week.

Who's that?

Seriously?

He's a British Academy actor

who portrays the fearless fowl himself, Hawk Shadow.

What? I...

Caw.

Caw? What?

Okay, well, other than this deeply

disappointing finish... Whoo.

This was a good session.

Yeah, that was, that was good.

Ah, Cap. Hey.

How's it going, man?

Uh, it's... it's good.

We're making some progress.

But I got to tell you,

you Rangers are not a talkative bunch.

Oh, you doing the

not talking thing. Yeah. I was doing the thing, yeah.

Yeah, you got a second?

Yeah. Got some news for you.

DPS commission approved you

for the in-house therapist position.

That's great. Yeah, well, it is,

but there's a catch.

They're insisting that the job be full-time.

I pushed back.

I told them you're trying

to make this work with Sacred Heart.

You've already had breakthroughs over here, all that.

They... were not swayed.

You know the kids need me.

High school's only gotten a lot tougher with all this

Insta-crap. I get it.

I know what those kids mean to you, but

DPS does have a point about consistency.

The deeper you get with these Rangers, harder it's gonna be

to keep it a part-time thing.

All right, look, I'm gonna have to think about it.

Whatever you decide, we're cool.

All right? All right.

Appreciate it, Cap. Yeah, man.

Let's see, first on the list

is The Balboa.

The Balboa? Sounds like a casino.

It's an apartment, I swear.

Okay, okay.

Thank you for doing this.

Pleasure's mine, Twyla Jean.

Sorry. Uh...

Go for Walker.

Walker, I need you over at HQ.

Denise, I requested the morning off.

James is aware. I-Is this important?

I sense a wrench in our plans.

Is that Twyla?

Yes, it is.

Bring her, too. I need you both.

Copy that.

All right, we're all set.

The op is a go.Great.

Oh. Um...

Excuse me. One sec.

Hello?

Denise, hey.

Hey. You know what, I'm, um,

I'm a little tied up right now. What can I do for you?

Oh, um...

Well, I was, uh, I was just wondering,

you know, we-we talked about having dinner a while back, and

we made reservations at Revolori's tonight,

and I...

just wanted to make sure

we were still on.

You know what,

I'm so sorry, Ger.

Can we just, um... Here's the truth.

I don't really know how to do this.

And I'm guessing you probably don't either.

So, family road trips when you just find out you're family

probably aren't the greatest.

So, I think we should do something else,

maybe over pasta?

You know what, um,

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Yeah, okay, um, I-I hope you do.

How convenient y'all were together.

Yeah, Denise, um...

just helping her look for a new place.

That's more a job for her parole officer than a Ranger.

She has skills that we need for this assignment.

That why you want her as your new CI?

Her expertise, both in banking and in the rodeo,

make her vital to this particular case.

That it? Or is this

maybe just another way to take a run at me?

What are you talking about?

You went after my father, and you were wrong.

Hey. Can we focus, please?

Yes, sir, Cap.

As a condition of your release,

you are required to help the DA's office

with any investigational needs.

Fully aware, ma'am.

So, what bank teller's skimming off the top?

It's not a bank.

It's an auction. Travis County Horse Auction.
